A welfare check.
00:02
It's going to be in the area of the Massillon Museum, near Lincoln Way East. It's going to be referenced a 17-year-old female named (name withheld), unknown last name at this time. She called 988 and threatened suicide, unknown means.
00:19
988 was originally communicating with her through chat for about an hour and then she quit responding.
00:25
988 was able to get the IP address that she was texting from and the IP address comes back to this. This is the Massillon Museum in this area.
00:36
Somehow, Worcester police got involved. They thought she was originally in Worcester.
00:41
So all of my information is coming directly from Worcester.
00:44
My partners are helping me look up call history for a 17-year-old female named (name withheld). It sounds like Jackson has dealt with her in the past. Same story of threatening suicide.
01:07
Especially, when you get a chance, can you see if Jackson can find information for our parents? A firm. My partner at the Jackson desk, I think, is going to also send somebody out to that address. It's on Oxford Chase and Jackson.
01:20
And also, you know, if we located the (name withheld), we believe it is, we put her in the call for you as well.
01:29
Thank you.
01:34
You put both in the area.
01:37
That's correct.
01:42
It's also just be advised. My partner also found that in prior call history, the female has had a knife with her in the past.
